GOING BACK TO THE BANK: PANTHERS EXTEND B OF A RELATIONSHIP

          The NFL Panthers and Bank of America announced
     yesterday an eight-year extension of their sponsorship
     agreement through the 2007 season, with the option for four
     additional years.  The new deal includes title sponsorship
     of Ericsson Stadium's club level, which will now be called
     the "Bank of America Club," as well as installation of three
     more ATMs throughout the stadium, bringing the total to six. 
     Additionally, the Panthers and Bank of America will partner
     to launch the Caravan Tour, which will travel to five cities
     in NC and SC each spring, and bring Panthers players to the
     cities in an effort to support community programs, including
     hospital visits and youth football clinics.  Bank of
     America, formerly NationsBank, has been a partner of the
     Panthers since the team's inaugural '95-96 season (THE
     DAILY).  Panthers President Mark Richardson, on the Caravan
     Tour: "We have a regional market, and that presents a
     challenge.  Charlotte has a feel for the Panthers.  But
     we've got to get the Columbias, the Charlestons, the
     Greensboros, Raleighs and Wilmingtons to think of us the
     same way Charlotte does" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 4/11).
